Abstract

A review of the literature of psychosocial aspects of occupational stress was presented at the 1981 International Conference on Machine Pacing and Occupational Stress. Workplace stressors related to negative health consequences, studies that have examined the relative risk of stress across occupations, and future needs in occupational stress research were discussed. Investigations of job factors such as physical working conditions, organizational factors, career development, security, workload, work pace, work hours, time pressure, work roles, and work tasks were reviewed.
